    Can we drive and park at Art of Animation & Port Orleans (Florida) to see the cars and get beignets?

    Hiya, Mary! Welcome to planDisney. The resorts at Walt Disney World have troves of treasures, and it sounds like you are on a quest to enjoy the whoozits and whatzits galore!

    I am always happy when the beignets at Scat Cat's Club - Café at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter are part of my world. The big decision here is whether to enjoy them with a dipping sauce or plain. Usually, I'm a big fan of chocolate, but these beignets are so good just as they are. As Ursula says, "Life's full of tough choices, isn't it?"

    Typically, parking at Disney Resorts Collection is reserved for Guests staying at the hotel or with a confirmed dining reservation. Since Port Orleans - Riverside and Port Orleans are sister resorts, you may be allowed to park here if dining at Boatwright's Dining Hall. The Bayou-inspired menu has so many tempting options (try the Praline-Bourbon Bread Pudding), you'll be letting the good times roll!

    If you have time for devotin' to floatin', you can take a Sassagoula River Cruise from Disney Springs

    Disney's Art of Animation Resort is quite popular for its ability to immerse you in the movies we love. It's also on the Disney Skyliner, so you can swing like Tarzan from EPCOT or Hollywood Studios to experience moments in Radiator Springs, the Pride Lands and under the sea in the big, blue world.  

    Mary, while parking at these hotels may not be an option, you can use the gadgets and gizmos aplenty with complimentary Disney Resort transportation. As you can see, buses, boats and highways in the sky can carry you from the theme parks and other hotels to enjoy the sights, sounds, and treats of these magical destinations. 

    I hope you enjoy your trip to explore the shore up above. If you have any other questions, please swim back by planDisney. Like Scuttle, we love sharing all we know about this world.

    Life is the Bubbles!
